It takes you in and tears it all out It tears it all outBut you never knowIt takes your life, turns you into someoneAnd you know it won't be longSomeone you'd never know

Don't claim that you know meWhen you very wellThat I have seen through it allAnd don't claim that you know whyWhen you know everythingWhen you've seen things for what they wereYeah

Inside you feel it taking overIt's taking overWhen you feel it mostIt draws you in and tears it awayIt tears it awayThen it leaves you lost

Don't claim that you know meWhen you very wellThat I have seen through it allAnd don't claim that you know whyWhen you know everythingWhen you've seen things for what they wereFor what they wereOh, ohFor what they were

Remember the days when our fears had long since diedAnd now how they age usThey've taken all our lives, lives

It takes you in and tears it all outIt tears it all outBut you never knowIt takes your life, turns you into someoneAnd you know it won't be longSomeone you'd never know

Don't claim that you know meWhen you very wellThat I have seen through it allAnd don't claim that you know whyWhen you know everythingWhen you've seen things for what they are

Sore again is this old woundIt overshadows everythingAnd I have seen through it all
